This is one of the most hyped books I've ever seen, and it didn't disappoint me! I liked the writing style, it felt very comforting and weirdly nostalgic- I think this would make for a great winter read. The synopsis really intrigued me as it was unlike anything I'd never heard of, and right from the start the books content didn't disappoint in relation to this. I was always excited to see which life Nora would enter next, which meant I was always looking forward to picking up this book. I appreciated the over arching method of this book and how accessible it was to understand, but also understand the complaint that it was almost too obvious and not very unique. I liked the conclusion to the story and the ideas it was promoting, and would overall recommend this as a feel good book despite its hard subject matter. Not a new favourite, but didn't disappoint!
